Medication with a roadmap
You have more options than you might think. If medication's part of your plan, we're with you from start to finish: careful dosing, side effects, costs, and a thoughtful plan for tapering off.
*Cost and coverage vary by plan. Your provider helps you understand your options, look for available savings, and find a lower-cost path if needed.
Helps your body use insulin more effectively — commonly used for insulin resistance or PMOS-related symptoms, with weight loss as a secondary benefit.
Targets cravings and appetite signals directly, without an injection.
For women who meet clinical criteria — weekly injections that reduce appetite and slow digestion, with support through every stage, including tapering off when you're ready.
A pill form of GLP-1, typically used for weight maintenance rather than significant weight loss — right for a smaller group of women whose goals and health profile call for it.
Affordability is part of the plan
We factor cost into treatment from day one. Your provider considers clinical fit, insurance coverage, and lower-cost options — and can revisit the plan if costs or coverage change.
No monthly membership or program fee
We look for the lowest-cost option that fits your needs
A women’s health expert in your corner
Our providers understand how weight connects to your hormones, metabolic health, and conditions like menopause, PCOS, or insulin resistance, and can treat those needs alongside your weight care.
Hear from our patients
Real stories from people who found the right clinician through Visana.
"They were the first doctors to help with ideas that were more than just telling me to eat healthier and exercise."
"I appreciated that my provider took time to learn what I had tried in the past and encouraged me to keep going with things I was already doing well."
“She didn’t see me as only fat. She saw me as a person.”
Frequently asked questions
Visana supports women who want to lose weight, improve their metabolic health, or maintain weight they’ve already lost. Care is based on several factors: your goals, BMI, health history, symptoms, and previous treatments.
Yes. Hormonal and metabolic conditions can affect weight and how your body responds to treatment. Visana treats weight alongside menopause, PMOS (formerly known as PCOS), insulin resistance, and other related concerns through one specialized care team. Treating your whole picture supports weight loss that sustains vs. bouncing back.
Weight regain can be influenced by changes in metabolism, appetite, body composition, medications, and other health factors. Visana plans for maintenance from the beginning, including nutrition, movement, metabolic health, muscle and bone health, and medication changes over time. If you are on GLP-1s, Visana helps you gradually taper off, instead of a cold stop.
No. Your treatment plan may include nutrition and movement support, health coaching, treatment for hormonal or metabolic conditions, medication, or a combination of approaches.
Yes, when clinically appropriate, we prescribe both injectable and oral GLP-1s. Your provider will recommend treatment based on your health, goals, response, coverage, and cost — and you will decide together what path to take.
Visana considers a range of weight loss medications, including non-GLP-1s, like metformin and Contrave, and injectable and oral GLP-1s — when appropriate. Your provider will recommend treatment based on your health, goals, response, coverage, and cost — and you will decide together what path to take.
Yes. Your provider can review how your medication is working, help manage side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as your needs change.
Not necessarily. Some people may benefit from longer-term medication, while others may eventually lower their dose, switch treatments, or gradually come off with their provider’s guidance.
Care can continue after you lose weight. Your provider can help you maintain your progress, adjust medication when appropriate, and continue treating underlying hormonal or metabolic conditions that may be affecting your weight and overall health.
Visana visits are billed through insurance, and standard copays and deductibles may apply. GLP-1 and other medication coverage varies by plan, so your provider will also factor coverage and cost into your treatment options.
